Is this the right Meth kit? Bottle MAY fit in the bay somewhere.

How would methanol clean windshields? Get bugs off? Streak-free? lol

^ that's what I have in my car, works 100% and fairly simple. Echo has it in his car too, and Morgan used it on her Frankenstein supercharger install.

I remember reading somewhere that typical wiper fluid has anywhere from a 30-60% methanol mix. However, wiper fluid usually has cleaning agents that, well, clean lol. You don't want that in your methanol mix though.

I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to find a spot for the tank. If you can't fit it in the engine bay, there should be enough room behind the passenger glove compartment.

if you are using water/meth, it's gotta be distilled water too

[sleey0]

Thanks for the tips fellas!

[xbgod]

Use VP M1 Methanol with distilled water.

5 gallons of M1 Meth makes 10 gallons. Always mix 50/50

Thanks, Aras.

Just looking for a Tach now.

Any1 with suggestions?

[Nexus1155]

Now im getting confused, i thought you already ordered them?

[Yoda]

am i still the only person thats sees whats going on Come on i know deep down some of you know it too. Attack me if ya want but you know...

[sleey0]

I had.that order cancelled after speaking with garm.

Id rather support a great sponsor like MI.

So if anyone has any reasonably-priced gauge recommendations let me know!

I didnt know garm sold gauges.

And wtf r u talking about yoda?

Please either help out or dont comment. Not to be rude but i want to try and keep this thread clean.

Thanks!

I seriously hope not, but it's at the back of my mind too.

Sleey0, just use sunpro gauges. A gauge is a gauge is a gauge. Unless it's a $250 boost gauge with a turbo timer and controller, but you get my point. Sunpro gauges are dirt cheap. They don't look bad either if you want white face gauges.

I got a water temp, boost, voltmeter, and oil pressure gauge for $50 shipped lol.

[sleey0]

No, a gauge is not JUST a guage.

If you buy crap (Sunpro isn't too bad but I will spend extra on my gauges) and the readings are wrong then bye-bye engine. The gauges are what you trust to be right.

Would you use Gloshift gauges? Heck, fracking, no!

I cannot really believe you said that lol.

I hope xbg doesn't jump on you for that one!

[sleey0]

Ok. Pistons.

Here are the CP pistons for the 1NZFE http://www.atomicspeedware.com/1NZFECP.aspx

What bore size am I looking for? There are 2 models - 75mm and 75.5mm. Is the 75mm standard? What are the advantages to oversized pistons?

What

They work for me

I thought the whole working part was common sense lol. If I buy an oil pressure gauge, hook it up, and see 400 psi on a gauge that only reads up to 100 psi, then clearly I need a better gauge.

[cali yaris]

oversized piston = more displacement = more power.

But it also means the block has to be bored and possibly sleeved. WAY more money than stock sized pistons.

A gauge is a gauge is a gauge.

That is just so incorrect; I'm not even going to start on it.
Put a Glowshift gauge next to an Autometer gauge, for example.

My oil pressure gauge saved my tC's life when the oil cooler popped a hose. I will never cheap out on gauges.

You're starting to sound like XBGod, not a bad thing IMO, but sometimes the best of the best is overated. You don't always need the cream of the crop.

If thats what you are going for get some DEFI gauges.

A Mechanical gauge is a mechanical gauge. They all operate the same way. Personally I am a fan of VDO. I have used their boost gauges many of times.

Ok, better put than what I said. For example:
Sunpro oil pressure gauge - no more than $20
AEM oil pressure gauge - $200

They do the SAME THING, except one is mechanical and one is electric. An insignificant difference if they both work.

Cut me some slack guys, I had to save money somewhere on this install - it isn't exactly cheap lol.

[Nexus1155]

Honestly I would rather mechanical gauges vs. electrical gauges anyday of the week.
